GEOPOLITICS ESCALATES, MACRO HOLDS UP

🟡 Neutral — fear in crypto, but financial conditions are not worsening

The main backdrop of the day is the military escalation around Iran and the oil shock associated with it: this fuels the “inflationary” agenda and keeps the market on edge. At the same time, by the numbers, financial conditions have not tightened today: the dollar is standing still (120.66), 10-year and 2-year yields are almost unchanged (4.29% and 3.78%), and the VIX remains below 20 (19.49), meaning the stock market is not pricing in stress.

In crypto, it looks more like an exhale after a strong week: BTC pulled back by about 2.6% over the day to $71,482, while the weekly gain remained noticeable (about +6.6%). Volatility decreased (30-day fluctuations 37.6% — one of the lowest values over the past 90 days), which often means “calm before the move.” Support remains from liquidity and institutions: net liquidity in the system over the week increased by more than 2% and is near the upper values of recent months, and inflows into BTC ETFs persist (about +$240M per day and ~ $622M over 7 days), with assets under management rising to $94.9B. Against this backdrop, fear remains high (16 points), so the key question is whether the market will hold the $70,000 zone amid geopolitical headlines.

WHAT TO WATCH

1) BTC reaction to news on Iran/oil: holding/breaking $70,000 will set the tone for the week.
2) Quality of inflows into BTC ETFs: continued inflows with weak BTC will be a strong signal of resilience.
3) Dollar and yields: if they start to rise, the “cushion” from liquidity will work worse.
